Not in West Yorks, but I'd reccomend Stallion in Notts.

They are used by various main dealers and are superb, very reasonable too. They do so amny Ferraris they basicaly do menu pricing, front end was £250 on my 355, front panel £100.

Details below...

I'm glad you can recommend then Bertie, coz that's where my 308's going for a full concours respray in December !! (p.s. where were you when I was asking for recommendations a few weeks back ! )

So far my impression of them is good. The owner (Graham Flint) was prepared to stand and talk to me about my car and the level of work I was after for a good 30-40 minutes on a couple of occasions (one without the car, one with the car). He seems fairly brusk at first, but once he realises you're serious he'll happily talk for ages.

They are main dealer approved for Ferrari, Maserati and Bentley. On the occasions I've been there they've had a full selection of all sorts - 360, 348, Maser 3200, Bentley Continental R .... they spray some serious moneys worth of car there (felt positively "poor" turning up in my 308 ) They also do a lot of pre-sales repair work to transit damaged cars for the above.

The proof of the pudding will, of course, be in the eating ... ask me again in February !

The only other place I'd consider otherwise was Fureano Coachworks in Nottm (Tony, 01159 440639) ... again, top quality work, but silly prices (e.g. 10k for a respray !)

They're very good, you won't be dissapointed!

They were straightening a Testarossa which someone had wedged in a Lincolnshire ditch last time I was there, also a Bentley Continental someone had spun on a test drive and top and tailed it against the armco!

Expensive test drive!!!
